And everyone is upset with Jones, just as they were with Bachman, and calling her names and making misogynistic (and sometimes explicitly violent) statements about her.

If you are not vegan, please go vegan. Veganism is about nonviolence. First and foremost, it’s about nonviolence to other sentient beings. But it’s also about nonviolence to the earth and nonviolence to yourself.
